Jalisco Tequila Lime Barbecue Sauce Recipes

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close the bag and squish the marinade around to mix. Add the chicken breasts and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Clean the grill and preheat to high. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. (Alternatively, you can spray the grates with a non-flammable cooking spray.) Place the chicken breasts on the grill and spoon any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side (turning only once). Serve immediately with lime wedges.

TEQUILA BBQ SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Begin by trimming the ribs of any excess fat or sinew. Remove the thin membrane from the back side of the ribs and discard. Make the rub by combining the cumin, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper and ancho chile powder together in a mixing bowl.
• Set a few large sheets of foil out (one set for each slab). Place 1 rack on each sheet and divide the dry rub between each slab. Rub the mixture into the ribs on both sides, and then fold the foil over to form a sealed pouch around each rack. At this stage make sure the racks are meat-side down. Place each pouch on a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 2 hours. After 2 hours, open up the foil and peel back so the ribs are exposed. Carefully turn the meat over so the meat side is on top, and then cook for 1 1/2 more hours with the open foil. When done, the ribs will be tender and the meat will have shrunk back from the bones. Finish under the broiler to add more color, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve the ribs with Tequila BBQ Sauce.
• Begin by placing the dried chile in a bowl with 1/4 cup hot water to rehydrate. In a medium saucepan, add the tomato paste, light brown sugar, tequila, lime juice, garlic and molasses. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Add in the chile and soaking water, season with salt and pepper and simmer until the flavors meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Process with a blender until smooth and serve with the ribs as a dipping sauce.

BAJA BEACH TACOS WITH TEQUILA-LIME SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill on medium to high heat.
• Season the sole fillets with the sea salt and brush the fillets with olive oil. Grill each fillet until it begins to flake. Remove from the grill.
• Lay out each grilled tortilla. Place each leaf of iceberg on top of the tortilla. Layer the grilled sole on next. Place the cooked lobster meat on each taco. Then sprinkle on the epazote and serranos over each taco. Add tomato slices and scallions in layers. Spoon the Tequila-Lime Salsa over each taco. Fold the leaves and tortilla around the filling and serve.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Season with the salt. Refrigerate 30 minutes before use.
• Yield: about 3 cups of salsa

GRILLED TEQUILA GARLIC LIME FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, cumin and black pepper in a resealable plastic gallon bag. Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, and let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.
• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Put the marinade in small saucepot and bring to a boil. Then strain and reserve.
• Put the tortillas on the corner of the grill and flip the package a few times to heat through while the steak is cooking
• Place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees, and cook for 3 minutes more (to create cross grill marks). Flip over and finish cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, lightly covered, for 5 minutes.
• Slice against the grain, and serve immediately with the reserved marinade, garnishes, tortillas and hot sauce.
